A series of novel amphiphilic ferrocenylimines and their cyclopalladated complexes of general formula [Fe(eta(5)-C5H5)(eta(5)-C5H4CR1=NR2)] (R-1=H, R-2=C12H25-n 4a, R-1=H, R-2=C16H33-n 4b, R-1=CH3, R-2=C12H25-n 4c, R-1=CH3, R-2=C16H33-n 4d), [PdCl[(eta(5)-C5H5)]Fe[(eta(5)-C5H3)CR1=NR2]}](2) (5a-d), [PdCl[(eta(5)-C5H5)]Fe[(eta(5)-C5H3)-CR1=NR2]}(PPh3)] (6a-d), were prepared and characterized by H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, P-31 NMR, IR, HRMS, and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of 5c,d were determined by X-ray crystallography. These amphiphilic cyclopalladated complexes are thermally stable and insensitive to oxygen and moisture. The redox properties of 4a-d, 5a-d, 6a-d were also investigated using cyclic voltammetric technique. Compounds 5a-d, 6a-d displayed good activity in the Heck reaction of a variety of aryl halides with ethyl acrylate or styrene and the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid in bulk solution. They are also suitable for formation of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. (C) 2007 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
